...yes, remote tracking branches are interesting as well, I don't know a situation where they wouldn't be.

There's plenty of weirdness in Git, but honestly my main complaint is that the interface is awful and the documentation makes Dostoyevski look modern and sleek.

You clearly have not ever worked on repos where nobody ever cleans up after themselves as far as feature branches go. I'm working with repos with remote branches numbering in the hundreds. `git branch -a` is pretty useless at this point unless paired with grep.

this is what I have my alias set to - `git branch -a --sort=-committerdate`
